The study adopted survey research design and Simple Random Sampling Technique was used to select 3 notable banks that operate in the major cities of Anambra State (Nnewi, Awka and Onitsha). Data were collected with the use of structured questionnaire from 162 respondents. Hypothesis was tested using Simple Regression Analysis with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS).
